All Hail Queen Kamala

She's wise and wonderful.

This is a must see:

She IS Kamala Harris.

She better pull this off, I swear to god...

I like her. When she was sworn in as Vice President, I started weeping. The emotional equivalent to my dog farting itself awake, but I new it was a big fucking deal. Thanks Uncle Joe

She will, r3. The anti-Trump coalition is huge but a section of them were concerned about Biden’s age. That is no longer an Issue. Trump is now the too old candidate and he’ll look even older against Harris.

I would have voted for Joe but I will vote for Kamala or whoever. Anyone but Trump.

Every Biden supporter will now get behind Queen Kamala.

There is absolutely no way she's going to win.

This is a nightmare.

Why do we hate ourselves.

R8- she’s polling better than Biden was. Trump is an old incompetent felon. It won’t be hard for Kamala to win.

Why not, R8?

Kween better be applying tretinoin as I type, she needs to look glowing next to Trump's crater face.

We're ready 👍

I'd much rather hail to Queen Helene instead.

It won't be Shapiro, no one Jewish, please! Josh Shapiro is however, a very smart man!!

She like buses too.

Mighty Joe Biden staying in office means he can focus on running the country while being one of the best surrogates and fundraisers for Kamala, and she gets to campaign with her running mate 24/7. That’s why the Republicans are calling for Joe to step down. They know him remaining in office gives Dems the best of both worlds.

I love Shapiro

The Clintons have endorsed Harris.

Fuck them!

I keep telling y'all her VP will be Andy Beshear, a moderate Democratic governor from a southern state. He's young and has that all-American look to him.

If she picks Beshear, the Dems will definitely win this election.

Great. That removes Hillary as a potential challenger to Kamala.

[QUOTE] I keep telling y'all her VP will be Andy Beshear, a moderate Democratic governor from a southern state. He's young and has that all-American look to him.

She needs someone who will help her lockdown Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin. That puts Josh Shapiro and Gretchen Whitmer in the lead. Third would be Senator Mark Kelly from Arizona, who could help block that state from Trump. Andy Beshear is from Kentucky. He wouldn’t be the worst choice, but I think she’d be better served with a swing state politician.

My psychic told me Marianne Williamson will be the first female POTUS.

Young voters, Black voters and white suburban women will be pumped. She's 59 and is a strong debater. Detroit, Philadelphia and Milwaukee will have to come out in historic numbers.

This Presidental race is going to be a "Fucking Bloodbath" You know Kamala can get nasty but can Beshear!

It's gonna be a street fight in 4 states, can he brawl?

Sorry about the triple posts, it said it wouldn't post-so I made it post!!

Congressional Black Caucus just came out and endorsed Kamala.

Black woman and a Jew. Oy vey. Good luck.

Black ppl are gonna be excited again. Young ppl don't have to feel embarrassed of their nominee. The economy and abortion. Let's talk about that Lardass Trump. Oh, and your criminal record and you're super old Trumpo

No way will Shapiro be on the ticket.

What did you know about the president's health and when did you know it?

[QUOTE] Black woman and a Jew. Oy vey. Good luck.

The people who would vote against Shapiro for being a Jew were never going to vote Dem in the first place.

Hillary 2.0, it's her turn!

I bet she has some sturdy cankles.

She needs Joe Manchin as her VP pick

Cankles/Pantsuits 2024!

No cankles here.

What else do you have?

[quote]What else do you have?

Earrings. Caftans.

Your referring to Kamala Harris as "Queen" is duly noted and dispelled, OP.

Don't start none, won't be none.

Jim Clyburn to endorse Kamala Harris.

I'm ready to stand behind the First Gentlemen, Doug Emhoff! (Or, in front of him, whatever his preference may be.)

Can't wait to see her debate the orange felon sex predator liar.

You go, Harris!

President Harris, sounds good to me.

R43, I've seen interviews with Doug Emhoff. He is a fantastic asset and will be great on the campaign trail. Smart, funny, and kind.

Gentleman, oops^^ (I got carried away!)

[QUOTE] I'm ready to stand behind the First Gentlemen, Doug Emhoff! (Or, in front of him, whatever his preference may be.)

It just now occurred to me that Kamala will be the first female President. I wasn’t even thinking about that. 😂

Harris-Shapiro just blends right into each other.

Repugs, racists and sexists, be prepared, be afraid, be very afraid!

She has a great stylist and wardrobe. It'll be a stark contrast to fat orange slob Trump in his girdle, lifts, and ill fitting oversized suits.

Not to mention those godawful ties that hang down to his knees.

You guys forget that the Hamas leftists hate Jews. They won't vote for Shapiro on the ticket.

Top Biden surrogate Senator Chris Coons endorses Kamala Harris.

^ Yes, I forgot about the red dick ties. 🤡

To be honest, finding something that fits over giant adult diapers is not easy.

Never knew that Venn Diagrams are so funny. Let’s just hope that her math goes beyond this….

Love seeing the top Dems rallying around Kamala and endorsing her. Once she selects her VP (and I'm hoping it's Andy Beshear), this should be a slam-dunk win for her come November.

R28 could you repeat that for me?

Anyoen, BUT Newsom

He is too progressive. Andy Beshear is my vote. She needs a white man to balance to ticket so she doesn't alienate voters.

[QUOTE] You guys forget that the Hamas leftists hate Jews. They won't vote for Shapiro on the ticket.

American Jews have been some of the best, most reliable allies of the Democratic Party for decades now. It’s time to cast those electoral fears aside and show bravery in face of antisemitism and prejudice. Let’s demonstrate to our Jewish friends that we stand with them just as they’ve stood by us. The Jews need to know that the Democratic Party is their safe haven.

I’d not overlook considering Michigan. Dynamic, a gov with experience, and a critical state that could be won.

Can Ky be won? It’s a question.

The ticket would be exciting and formable. Will they win? Like any election wait and see after the votes are cast. But it would shake the race up as much as the debate did.

Those two on stage at a Taylor Swift concert.

Yesterday I was sure 2024 was going to be lost. I have never had an opinion on Harris +/-. Now I am excited.

I will look forward to see how many blacks vote for trump now.

To R28, You're funny!!

SORRY, that was supposed to be R58

Hmm. Some important people have refused to endorse Kamala. The Obamas, Nancy Pelosi, Gavin Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer, JB Pritzker, and my man Josh Shapiro. Are they trying to start some shit?

Joe absolutely had to endorse Kamala, otherwise the message is that he’s old AND picked a crap VP. He had no other choice but to endorse her.

@r47, "It just now occurred to me that Kamala will be the first female President. I wasn’t even thinking about that"

Isn't that the way it should be, looking at a candidate's qualifications before noticing what sex they are? She's also a woman of color another thing I always forget to notice

Well, well, how the tables have turned. Now Trumpo is the old and senile presidential candidate. The oldest candidate in history!

Senator Mark Kelly already endorsed her, so he might have moved to the front of the VP line.

The rest of these candidates look like they’re wheeling and dealing their way towards an Open Convention. Especially Gavin. But Kamala is probably already getting the California delegation behind her. She knows he’s a snake.

Andy Beshear hasn’t endorsed Kamala, either.

Governor Shapiro finally endorses Kamala!

The first challenger emerges. Some donors are trying to convince Joe Manchin to run against Kamala.

Gavin Newsom finally endorses Kamala.

No! She has severe PMS and will start a nuclear war!!!!

[quote] Andy Beshear hasn’t endorsed Kamala, either.

That's because he's going to be her VP pick.

[quote] The first challenger emerges. Some donors are trying to convince Joe Manchin to run against Kamala.

Joe Manchin is the turd in the punchbowl of American politics.

What's this "finally endorses" shit. One day hasn't even passed yet.

I am, however, happy to see so many.

There were people who endorsed Kamala minutes after Joe dropped out, R77. Why is it taking some folks 9 hours to do it? There’s a reason. Don’t be naive.

She’s gonna rock it. We’re going to beat that motherfucker! Thanks, Joe, for saving democracy again.

She’s cracking skulls as we speak!

Do we get to see more of that laide-laide step daughter with the post-modern knit clothes?

R78 has such a bored, unloved life that he has to try and create any drama to feel special.

He’s not. And never will be.

R82, Kamala is frantically locking up as much support as she can for a reason. Are you not following what’s going on? Do you not understand that she has to work her ass off to prevent an open convention where she might lose the nomination to another candidate?

There’s no way in Hell a Black woman will ever be elected President in our lifetime.

The reason she’s being put forward at this time is because: 1) she’s the current Vice President; and, 2) this will allow the GQP to waste time and money bashing/vilifying someone who won’t be on the ticket.

Claire McCaskill Predicts Kamala will have all the delegates she needs by Wednesday..

Florida, North Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and South Carolina delegations have already pledged themselves to her.

Joe Manchin is the boil on America's chapped and sore ass. Just go away asshole.

You all nuts. You "weep" for politicians, you "love" them. They do not weep or love for you. It's all about personal power for these people and self enrichment. Look at history since time immemorial and get your answer.

Shut up R88, and bow down to the New Queen of America. Kamala Harris. Breaker of Barriers and Mother to California. The Brown Queen. The Burnt.

[quote] Some donors are trying to convince Joe Manchin to run against Kamala.

Let Harlan Crow waste even more money. Will they try to talk Sinema into being his VP?

I wouldn't mind an open convention. May the best person win. I don't think anyone should be anointed that is how we got here in the first place. I will vote for Harris if she is the nominee I preferred to her joe in 2020 but it shouldn't look like we are anointing anyone and passing up what the voters want.

Manchin needs to be cunt punted.

Hateful old twat

[QUOTE]I don't think anyone should be anointed that is how we got here in the first place.

What does that mean, R92? Who was anointed?

Kamala takes a good picture, Trump cracks the lens.

Whole thing feels like an episode of Veep.

Queen Kamala of Camelot

The outcome is actually quite simple:

Kamala Harris - positive attitude

Donald Trump - negative attitude

No one wants to be feel down.

^ No one wants a frickin' dictator. It's really that simple

VP needs to be handsome, young white guy. That eliminates the Arizona astronaut.

Andy Beshear is the logical pick. And he's a Southener.

Manchin is out.

We don’t need Ky that won’t help much we need Pa or Mi or maybe Arizonia

It’s the EC that counts

Whitmer and Pritzker finally endorse Kamala.

The Chauncey Gardner of American politics.

How long before we start remembering all the reasons we were never all that hot for Kamala to begin with?

It's like Dan Quale. How on earth do these people become successfull...it has to be so they can be controlled by whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes....come on.

Don’t take any shit, hunny. God I hope this all works. Had no premonition of spending my midlife in constant fear.

How long before we start remembering all the reasons Mrs Clinton was so much more popular than Mr Obama at least at one point in time?

Then surprising, I hope I am not plot spoiling for any one, it all turned around..

R105 I thought living in constant fear of a whole lot of shit was kind of a DL thing?

R106 Exactly. She was originally recruited to run by the powers that be in the party, and I was just thinking the same thing—they’ve wanted her for a long time and it’s because she can be controlled. Not an original thought in her head.

My prediction is most the virulent K supporters here will never spend an hour researching her.

All of a sudden I have hope for my party again. I like her, I really like her!

Make that half an hour.

R111 I heard she in her youth and while unmarried herself once had an affair with a married but long time separated man.

( some at DL are raising this as a reason she should not have been picked.

I only care if she wins.

And if she loses, like any other dem ticket might, my hope is that she does not leave the dem party in open civil war of hate and bitterness.

And so far you have not come up with a better short and long term workable plan that will end in victory.

R114 An older, powerful politician who pulled strings to help her get ahead in California politics when she was unconnected and inexperienced. Funny how you left out that part.

There are may other things to learn about her. It’s crazy to me that people like you are already trying to discourage people from looking into the record of a politician they’re being asked to vote for. Does anybody pay you?

*many

God forbid we should be informed about any candidate.

It's cute to see our trolls having to shift their talking points and start from scratch just when they thought they were within the home stretch.

[quote]An older, powerful politician who pulled strings to help her get ahead in California politics when she was unconnected and inexperienced.

We used to call those "mentors."

I also left out he was black. And what the separated wife’s name is. I left out a lot.

If you are a dem then you are a part of a small group of Dems today——the unhappy ones.

When your sister, mama and memaw all used to work at a seedy trucker strip club, it's kind of hard to grasp how a woman could have a purely professional relationship with her male coworkers.

R119 It was already mentioned she had an affair with him by the person defending it —R114. Not just “mentoring”unless your definition differs from the norm.

R118 Interesting to see you immediately go from saying there was nothing wrong with Biden except a stutter, to accepting his dropping out under vast pressure from his own party, then switch to whoever they tell you to switch to without thinking. Don’t put down people because they bother to think for themselves and ead and do some research, while you brainlessly regurgitate whatever the party tells you to.

*read. My keyboard has issues, sorry.

Kamala was never popular, she had to drop out very early in the primaries, she was not relevant, and became the VP anyway. Let’s just be honest. Even women and black people had no interest in her. It was the powers that be, in the party, who always wanted her. (And now they have her.) You can go along with it but let’s not pretend she’s The People’s Choice. This is all whatever the powers backstage want.

R124 Kamala slept her way to the top. Everyone knows that.

[quote]You can go along with it but let’s not pretend she’s The People’s Choice.

No one is "The People’s Choice" except for Biden who won the primary. However, Kamala comes closest to the people's choice because she was on the ticket with Biden, unlike everyone else.

God, you people and your fucking double standard. Kamala may have dated a few guys that helped her get ahead. The other guy RAPED A 13 YEAR OLD GIRL

Get a grip 😠

R123

Depression?

R127

It’s not you people. It’s never been you people. It’s the I hate Harris troll.

[quote] R124 Kamala slept her way to the top. Everyone knows that.

Better than sleeping your way to the bottom. Case in point: R125.

" Kamala slept her way to the top. Everyone knows that."

She no say "Leave the money on the dresser" in five languages like Varist Laddy, me, Melania

R130 But who's sleeping with you, Quasimodo? Your bed ain't rocking unless it's the crack rocks you're smoking. Delusional fuck.

I've never seen Kamala's pussy, but I have seen the pussy of the klassiest FLOTUS ever, Mrs. Donald Trump.

Always shaved, always fresh.

Kamala fucked Willie Brown, the Mayor of SF, who doesn't know that!!

Longtime affair!! Big fucking deal.

Trump fucked up big time by not picking Nikki Haley as VP. He needs to bring in those people that voted for her in the primaries. Now he's stuck with fellow fat boy JD Vance. Womp, womp! 🤡

Yeah, but Elmo and Thiel didn't want a woman or anyone non-Aryan, being neonazis and all.

Fox WXWT your station for news here at the BI weekly gay and bi mens BBorgy asking the question most Americans are thinking about and want answered now ——is Harris unfit for the office because she was once a slut?

Trump really fucked up by not picking Tulsi Gabbard as his VP. Tulsi was the one who dismantled Kamala's campaign in 2020.

Oh, the thought of a black lady POTUS facing down Putin.

Tulsi never dismantled anything, except, maybe, for her tent in the FSB's backyard. Don't oversell our pockmarked Hawaiian rotting orchid. Isn't she hawking some fitness crap with Kari Lake and/or other right wing loons?

Nancy Pelosi finally endorses Kamala

^ "Finally"? It's been 12 fucking hours, on a Sunday, when you know, people are in church and stuff 😏

12 hours? Right now 12 hours is a lifetime, R143. You people act like the Democrats have all the time in the world.

I was expecting that the Dems would all unite at once , coming out together , saying what a singular sensation Harris was and she is the One One One

But no they make those announcements over two days and CNN has to cover each one.

[quote]Manchin is out.

Showed up fan dancing at Sunday tea. Earrings, caftan.

[QUOTE] But no they make those announcements over two days and CNN has to cover each one.

Maybe it was done by design.

Politicians waiting for their own moment in the spotlight, R145? What a radical approach.

I’ve tolerated the sad trolls up til now,(because let’s face it, the Dems can make the job of the troll easy), but my ignore poster button is getting the workout it deserves tonight.

That Shapiro would automatically win Pennsylvania for the Democrats isn't necessarily true.

The trolls are desperate tonight. It’s delicious to watch.

^Yup they have a hard on for chaos. They really want the traitor piece of shit to win for fun and excitement. Like people who are disappointed people don't die when they go to the hospital because it stops being exciting.

R127 I don't think that's an example of a double standard, since no one said they approved of anything Trump did. There's an old saying, two wrongs don't make a right.

Accelerationists are the biggest idiots around, R152. Just ask Glenn Greenwald. Or Tulsi.

You people really are incapable of objectively discussing anything. It's always the childish "either they're all good or all bad" mentality. "All Hail Queen Kamala" is a good example. The woman doesn't even have the nomination yet. Yet the coronation is already underway. She's perfect, you are not allowed to criticize her in any way.

Kamala kills all of the DL white knights in polling against Trump

Yes but she had an affair with was long time separated man when she was single. I read on DL that , that should knock her off the ticket.

That’ll be up to us, R3

R158, don’t tell anyone, but Trump is a serial adulterer.

If she’s tying Trump now, she might be ahead of him after the Democratic convention. It will be a Kamala love-fest.

If Mighty Joe had to drop out, he picked a perfect time to do it. He prevented us from having a sloppy open convention roiled by internecine warfare that could’ve torn the Dems apart. Instead the convention will be a unifying event.

Whether his dropping out was spontaneous or planned, it was timed perfectly.

“Men can do things sluts shouldn’t ”

“No sluts in the White House unless they are family”

The Harris Troll sent me these new bumper stickers.

That's pretty lame, R163.

R155, you act as though no one's ever heard of Kamala before and she hasn't been VP of the United States for over three years. We know her, we like her, and we want her to win. That seems pretty straightforward and reasonable.

@r164, It really is, isn't it? Translator must be on the fritz

Don’t blame me R164 others here on DL , like the Harris troll, are making serious comments like this that she is unfit because of her sex life decades ago before she was married

Kamala has Trump running scared. He wants to dump JD Vance now but it’s too late!

Everyone should keep in mind that the media is now in a honeymoon period with Kamala. She's the new shiny thing that is fresh and exciting. They'll soon enough getting around to trashing her, because they need their close horse race. How long before the Andrea Mitchell types start in on Kamala's job performance? I bet they'll start ripping into her at the convention. Also, these media people are TERRIFIED of appearing to be biased towards Democrats, so they bend over backwards to go easy on Trump and the GQP.

R169 are you sure people in the GOP will attack her and the press will look closer into her background just because she is running for president? If so that for the warning, I had no idea,

Does this sort of thing happen in every US election ?

Um, what's your point R170? I was just pointing out that the media is the problem as usual. They only care about ad revenue, clicks, and shares. Right now they're going easy on Kamala but that will change. We had weeks of non-stop coverage of 'Biden is too old and should drop out' with nary a mention of all the batshit insane stuff Trump says on a daily basis.

I think people are smart enough to realize we are now on a 48 hour high. And the campaign will now take on a new level of attack.

And she will and is being attacked 24/7 and in very ugly ways..

That’s politics. Looking for someone to be on the ticket who can’t be attacked for anything is just not going to happen.

Maybe you need to change the channel. I see plenty of bad stuff about trump , and right now nothing but good stuff about Harris——except from the DL Harris trolls who seem to hate her.

R169 I fully expect the media to turn on her, but it is possible she may be treated gentler than we expect, because Vance is such asublimeasshole. And now that it has been firmly established that age was a burning concern of the Media's we can now publicly insist they focus on Trump who is OLD...in addition to all his other problems.

You gloom and doom trolls are the worst... "Kamala Harris is running for President and why that's bad for Joe Biden"... Oh, wait

JHC she should be treated like anyone running for president. And after decades now she will be ready. Let the negative stories come if there are any.

This is not a DEI situation where she has to be cuddled protected and promoted by the press .which is not the job of the press anyway ..

She will eat trump alive. Now badger him until he does sit for a debate. Which he won’t but rag on him for being a coward then.

And this the press has been easy on trump is total bullshit. Everyone knows what trump is. Even those who will vote for him.

Kamala’s first rally already has more people than any event Joe held

[QUOTE]The Kamala Harris rally in West Allis, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, will have more people attending than any event President Biden held on the campaign trail, said Kevin Munoz, a spokesman for the Harris team. Her campaign expects about 3,000 people at a high school gymnasium.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer just endorsed Kamala.

She is in the lead! Fuck yeah!

Kamamentum!

r178, seriously, if GenZ girls have anything to do with this election, the win will be MUCH bigger

All the walls at Mar-A-Lago were so red that day... From ketchup.

I'm waiting for "KUNTY TUR" to start her fucking Kamala bashing shit

She was a Major Kunt on Sunday afternoon with her reporting????

@r178, The poll troll ain't going to like that... Said 93% of poll respondents

Reporters speaking about Kamala’s Wisconsin rally:

[QUOTE]Harris is listing out her campaign pledges, including building a strong middle class, protecting unions, and preserving and expanding abortion rights. They are essentially the same promises as Biden’s. What’s different is the messenger.

[QUOTE]Harris delivered a full-throated message on abortion access, declaring to applause that if Congress passed a law to protect access she would “sign it into law.” Democrats had hoped that Biden would press on this policy issue at the debate, but he flubbed his response.

[QUOTE]“What kind of country do we want to live in?” Harris asks. “A Kamala one!” an attendee shouts out, to cheers. She laughs.

[QUOTE]As someone who has covered campaign events led by Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden and now Kamala Harris, the enthusiasm of her crowd looks and sounds much like what I saw in high school gyms in the midwest back in 2008. It’s much later in the cycle, of course, but this energy was missing for much of the time Joe Biden was campaigning.

It's all very promising, but remember Hillary was leading all the polls too. But I do believe #45's election was rigged in his favor.

If DL Dems are behind in the polls they are unhappy then say the polls don’t mean anything

If DL Dems are ahead in the polls they are unhappy then say the polls don’t mean anything.

But we sure spend a lot of time talking about polls

Douglas Emhoff is a SGILF. 🥵Hopefully soon a FGILF.

This time last week I was hopeless. This week I want to donate and buy bumper stickers. What a change.

@r185, "It's all very promising, but remember..."

Why this is bad for Joe Biden

Yeah, we got 🙄

[QUOTE] It's all very promising, but remember Hillary was leading all the polls too.

Kamala, with today’s rally, has already appeared in Wisconsin more times than Hillary did throughout her entire campaign.

It's amazing how quickly all the momentum shifted from Trump over to her in the past 48 hours. Like his shooting, and convention bounce just never happened.

If she's already pulling even or coming up even with him in some polls, think about where she'll be weeks from now after her own convention bounce. And all the ads start piling on, the merchandise starts flowing, the yard signs are out, etc. This is going to be amazing, I think we're in for a wild ride but it will be a fun one.

Just keep Debra Messing away from her...

Imagine if they could get Beyonce or TSwift at the convention and the ratings were through the roof. I think Dump would finally stroke out.

I wouldn't bet against a Bey or TSwift appearance for Kamala, perhaps not at the convention but if things are really close down to the wire in late October, watch for a possible endorsement appearance from either or both. Beyonce I would bet would be happy to show up for her at a rally or show.

If both were to show up together, with Harris, it would be an appearance for the ages. It would just about cover the entire youth demographic in the US.

I think we've found our new Kyrsten Sinema at R204.

She'll get some press in her little Alaskan conservative backwater and that's all she wants.

Bitch needs a fucking brush thru her hair!!

It's a new world and it's all gonna be Kamala's!

The last thing Kamala would do would be to allow any US citizen to lose any rights. I feel down deep this is so.

She's brave.

Kamala has something Hillary was lacking - relatability. That goes a long way.

Kamala also doesn't have all of the baggage of the right-wing noise machine smearing her for 30+ years like Hillary.

True. However, I lost some respect for her during her debate with Trump when he was stalking her in the background during the debate and she didn't acknowledge it. Kamala would have gone spitfire on him.

It had never been done before, so she didn't know how to react, r216. Plus, she was coached by her advisers that she could not, under any circumstance, come across as "difficult" or be seen as lecturing him. Because that would immediately turn off male voters.

Centuries of patriarchal baggage heaped on her, hopefully we can dispense with most of that nonsense this year.

R217 Bullshit. Instincts rule, she knew. If she didn't, all the more reason she shouldn't have been at the top of the heap. Trump is weak, she showed no muscle. Kamala knows what to do.

I hope her security is a whole lot better than Trumps as far as preventing bad stuff. It’s bad enough that some GOP , I heard, is filing to impeach her.

I expect to see injunctions or what ever else lawyers do to stop her in the courts.

The really good news s that both Kelly and Vance will be there for VP on the tickets And one of those fuckers has to say Sir to the other who is a war hero , and salute him.

All these pussy pundits at the NYT and WaPo fretting that she's being forced on the voters through an "undemocratic back-room process" are hilarious. The primary voters picked her as well as Biden, and they picked her specifically as a potential president. Not to mention the massive grassroots support shown by record donations and volunteer sign-ups.

“Trump is unfit to serve”

The NYT has already spoken

Because there are the Anti Harris Trolls who are active here telling us why she is such a bad choice. . We then hear from MAGA that says , in there own way, they she is a great choice.

Are you considered an anti Harris troll on DL?

R165 No it's the fact that when you go on these threads you can't have a reasonable discussion about the actual person, their pros and cons. First it was Biden. Mighty Joe Biden, the greatest person and president, you can't say a word against Biden, he's perfect, la-la-la I'm not listening, he doesn't have dementia, it's a stutter. His record as a Senator is perfect, in fact, there is no prior record. The polls don't matter, everyone who doesn't love him is MAGA. Shut up, Boris. Now it's exactly the same with Kamala. And it's regarded as normal. And as for trolls, I think there are definitely some paid shills and/or Democratic Party operatives in these threads, always name-calling and ostracizing anyone not kissing ass.

I know of one black gentleman on DL from California , a big Newsom supporter, that told us she was unfit to head the ticket just a few days ago.

Something about her having sex with someone while she was unmarried.

I will assume that was gentleman was not R229 , who just wants a calm reasonable discussion about why Harris is not right for the top of the ticket while the rest of us are really really happy..

I'm going to assume you all are still watching and listening to the pundits who were telling you up until a couple of weeks ago that Biden was "sharp as a tack" and great "behind closed doors," and "This Biden is the best Biden". Most here seemed willing to run a mentally declining man as president. Then when Jake Tapper, et all decided it was no longer viable, everybody switches, unquestioningly. I'm not contemptuous, just trying to make you see it.

R230 I don't know anyone--ANYONE--who cares if Harris had sex with anyone while unmarried. Name anyone who is saying this makes her unqualified to run for president, or even that it's bad. What people are suggesting is that she may have been promoted or given a leg up over others for sleeping with "the boss'-- so to speak.

If she wins it can be 2032 before Pete or other candidates get a chance. And yet she will never have won a primary.

lt would be hard to believe that this forced process would have been acceptable with VPs Mondale, Gore, Quayle etc.

MAGAts trying really hard to get Democrats riled up about "the process."

[quote]What people are suggesting is that she may have been promoted or given a leg up over others for sleeping with "the boss'-- so to speak.

Was Willie Brown, as mayor, even her boss at that time? She was a local prosecutor, correct? Whom did she report to. If it wasn't him, then all bets regarding this claim are off.

Harris was a young, attractive, intelligent and sociable single woman fresh out of law school in the 90s. She would've had dating offers from several wealthy and powerful men in the Bay Area, and gone out with her pick of them as she was wont to do. She would have also been at the head of the line for promotion, early on, due to the same characteristics. It doesn't have to be linked to her sex or dating life.

Come abord we're expecting you....

I love that the MAGA cult is all about the "process" now. Somebody should ask them what "process" they were following on Jan 6, 2021.

^ THIS

Just because Biden stepped down doesn't mean any of the bullshit accusations were right. It just means he knew this was going to get in the way of a successful campaign and election. He did what was best for party and country, a concept Republicans can never grasp and thus are stuck with Barron von Shitzinpantz FOREVER

Imagine if it was Orange. He would take his party and country down to hell with him before he relinquished any power. Mighty Joe still puts the people first.

Reporters’ remarks on Kamala’s event in Indianapolis today:

[QUOTE]Today’s speech from Harris is technically an official White House event, but she is — not surprisingly — delivering a version of the campaign stump speech she debuted this week in Delaware and Wisconsin. It is, so far, slightly toned down in its contrast of her vision with Donald J. Trump's, but she is reciting the accomplishments of the Biden administration and explaining what she would do as president if elected.

[QUOTE]Harris just gave a clear and succinct recitation of some of the Biden administration’s biggest accomplishments. President Biden often complained about not getting enough credit for what he had achieved. But in his stump speeches, at least, he could meander and digress through what he had done as president.

[QUOTE]“We are not playing around,” Harris said to laughs and applause in the crowd. She gave a full-throated message on the Democrats’ policy position on abortion access, saying she would “sign it into law.” This is quite the contrast from Biden’s garbled remarks about Roe v. Wade at the debate.

[QUOTE]Harris barely said Trump’s name in her speech today and she walked off to a trumpet fanfare instead of Beyonce’s “Freedom,” but the substance of her remarks and contrast with Republicans were quite similar to her campaign rally yesterday in Wisconsin. Expect that to continue as her campaign progresses.

[quote]"On the other hand, it doesn't bother me a bit that evangelical Christians have abandoned every principle they once espoused to support a lying, cheating, adulterous convicted felon."

Personally, I don't believe that type ever espoused any principle but "If our leaders tell us to support such a person, that's what we do." There is a long history of morally repulsive evangelicals who retain the admiration of the Bible thumpers.

R232 Pete already had a chance in 2020.

Look I am NOT a Trump supporter or fan, but calling him "lying" (which I read all the time on here, spoken with great contempt) when you are somehow able to ignore that Biden had to DROP OUT of a Presidential Primary for lying (and he still lies on the regular) is so disingenuous.

Queen.

“Sure, Trump lied more than 30,000 times during his administration but what about that time Biden lied in 1988?

Oh, and I’m totally a Democrat, by the way.”

R245, you forgot: "And that's why I have no choice but to vote for Trump! For the third time."

OP, funny you should call her queen. An astrologer neighbor who used to teach it drew her chart up and said it looks quite promising. The first thing that she noticed is that there are similarities in the midheaven (the top) to Queen Elizabeth's. I said that's a good sign, so to speak, right? She agreed.

Gloriana, r249? Or the second one?

[quote] ...with Beyonce soundtrack...

R245 I clearly stated Biden still lies. But your rejoinder is apparently serious. "Yeah, he's a liar but he lied fewer times!" Quite a high bar you set.

The best thing about a Democrat being elected is that a lot of posters will shut up and not share their simplistic political views for the next 4 years, vs. if Trump is elected, when there will be daily outrage threads and we'll have to listen to what Whoopie Goldberg thinks.

R233 This will be the third time the process has been rigged. Donna Brazile and Elizabeth Warren both stated publicly the process was rigged in 2016 against Bernie Sanders. In 2020 Obama pulled strings prior to Super Tuesday to see that several candidates dropped out on the eve of ST to kill Bernie's momentum and eliminate these competitors to Biden (who came in 4th place in NH). This year, the Biden primary was not competitive. The party changed the order of traditional primary states, etc. Normally even an incumbent president will be challenged in a primary. Now we have Harris, already "chosen" as the candidate, rather than at least having an open convention. This is the "democracy" everyone is voting to defend, supposedly.

The Sad Sad days for the disappointed DL Harris trolls. Those bitches are more upset than the typical maga frau. And they are really upset.

R255 has a lot of revisionist history in that post. The powers that be didn’t have to force those 2020 candidates out: they weren’t winning any states and were running out of money. What the hell did you expect them to do? Their campaigns were on fumes. What state was Amy Klobuchar about to win, R255? What states were looking good for Pete? There was no point to them staying in the race!

Obama's endorsement is coming soon.

Harris for President tore into former President Donald Trump over a Fox News interview in which he referred to Vice President Kamala Harris as “garbage” among other things.

The Harris campaign responded with a memo — entitled “Statement on a 78-Year-Old Criminal’s Fox News Appearance” — claiming Trump is lashing out because he’s rattled, and attacking him over his age and criminal record — among other things:

R299

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaa

R259 as well

Baaaaaaaaaa

^ Someone is hitting the sauce this morning.

Is that press release real at r259? Because if it is, it's a work of art. I hope it's a forerunner of things to come from the campaign.

R362 I will admit that legalization has been hard on me. I am more relaxed but…but….oh fuck lost my train of thought.

You lost your train of thought r264 and lost your way as well....what thread was your post meant for.

I can't believe the entity "Harris for President" is from the candidate's office itself. It sounds like a Lincoln Project-like group. I, too, love it, but I think it's out of line and undignified from a Democratic candidate.

On second thought, you know what? Fine. They (R) brought this on themselves.

It's not out of line, they need to do some hard swinging at these ass clowns to gain some respect and traction with the independent voters, who'll decide the election in November. They can't just sit there and keep taking the hits, trying to take some kind of high road all the time. The uninformed swing voters pay attention to this stuff believe it or not, they want to see some pep and vigor in a candidate.

They don't need to get fully down into the mud, but these kind of responses are needed to keep some respect in the game. You don't hide or ignore bullies, you have to confront at certain points.

R265 it was meant as a joke making fun of myself.

Then sorry r264...irony/satire is sometimes hard to determine here at DL.

Now r264 has me wanting a spliff.

As long as we crush the orange dtrump& Miss Vance and the other rethug Senate-House candidates; I don't care how low we go with political ads!!

In June 2024, I told several members of the DNC in meetings in NYC& Wash DC that we need to "slaughter the rethugs" with horrible political ads. I told these people, " It's a WAR& we gotta win, there is no room for decency, that died in 2000 with the Supremes".

@r252, Let me make this simple for you, I robbed a liquor store and lied to the cops about it, looks like I'm going to jail for a long time. But, my neighbor was driving 10 over the limit and lied to a cop and said he was only going 7 over the limit. He's walking around free. Life is so unfair 😠

Whataboutism, both sides are equal... Right?

Kamala Harris to appear on 'RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars' season finale

Taped a few weeks before she announced her bid for the presidency, Harris joined the Emmy-winning reality show and encouraged Americans to register to vote.

I will allow it, as long as she tells Drag Americans to go out& VOTE!!

R266 = Michelle Obama.

R263 That is being reported as coming directly from the campaign.

She'll gather record breaking votes from women. There's a lot of American women.

Actually, R276, I hated what Michelle said. I thought it was politically asinine, and I don't believe in going "high" in the face of slander. I just thought this instance sounded too casual and amateurish. As I said in the follow-up, though, it's probably fine, all things considered.

This is undemocratic. Kamala ran for president in 2020 had to leave the race first because no money bad campaign. she then got installed as VP without us voting for her and frankly Biden was pushed through as well. It's no wonder people are not happy.

[quote]It's no wonder people are not happy.

So unhappy that Kamala's smashing fundraising records and volunteer enrollment.

Imagine if people were actually happy with her candidacy!

She needs to peel Usha Vance away for the VP nomination.

If Kamala is claiming she is signing abortion into law she is lying. She can't, she will never have the votes. The Democrats love to use abortion as a carrot.

She said she'd sign an abortion law if it made it to her desk as president, R284. That's not a lie.

[quote] This is undemocratic.

You know what's really undemocratic? Treason and insurrection!

Lol @R281 trying the "undemocratic" talking point here.

If you don’t like it, well, there’s always Russia. Wait, you’re already there?

Like people are being forced to vote for her right now. Hey, Mr Constitutional Scholar, no one's held an election yet. We're about to choose the nominee.

That is their side R286 I'm talking about the democratic side of which I am a member. It irks me that people can't hold their politicians accountable and instead worship them. They are supposed to be accountable to us and if they are not people will vote against them. I don't think the rank and file are happy about this.

Pointing and laughing at r281

If Trump had a brain cell, he'd yank Vanky out of the luxury fortress she's been holed up in, parade her around, and make her stump for him. Kamala wouldn't really be able to attack her directly.

Well Kamala should do the same with Obama, R292. That would be a good campaign.

There's plenty for Kamala to legitimately attack Vanky with if Kamala so desires.

Who in the hell is Vanky?

It's Ivanka's family nickname.

R273 So by your way of thinking Biden should never have been forced to drop out of the '88 primary at all (as one obvious example). Just some minor lying, nbd. If we only had you around to correct us and let us know how unimportant it all was.

To our foreign friend at R281, you are 100% wrong to claim Kamala was "installed" as VP without anyone voting for her. Why, it's as though you've never experienced a US election before and are reading off a list of vague facts someone on a troll farm threw together for you! Imagine that.

Pro tip: the way Kamala Harris took office was exactly the way every vice-president takes office.

She was a DEI hire, just like his SC pick,

CNN: Trump is now refusing to commit to any debates until there is an official Democratic nominee, notwithstanding the fact that he already debated Biden when he wasn’t the official nominee.

Too bad Trump doesn’t have a bunker to hide in any more.

He will win this time, and we will have to put up with all the drama from the progressives that will be melting down. I think I will have to go into hiding.

Why wait, R302?

I can't even see the dolt @R302. Must be an idiot right wing troll, desperate to flaunt his stupidity in public.

[quote] she then got installed as VP without us voting for her

How, o Trollina, does someone "get installed" as Vice President without being voted in?

^ In Russia we "install" we don't vote

They have already raised over $1 million in under 30 minutes

Kamala's impromptu speech after meeting with Netanyahu was inspiring. Inteligent, fair, compassionate.

How anyone could watch that, listen to her, and prefer Dump is truly beyond comprehension.

R281 seriously, I always think people are ridiculous when they call posters “Boris,” but you don’t even make an effort to sound like English is your native tongue.

Return however many rubles you were paid. You’re an embarrassment.

The MAGA trolls like R281 are desperately trying to stir shit up by saying that people didn't vote for Kamala Harris. Huh? We elected Biden and Harris in 2020.

Your feeble attempts at trying to sow division won't work. Democrats are united behind Harris, so kindly fuck off back to wherever you came from.

For r281

Dear Mr. Putin,

I thought we talked about r281. There has been no improvement and I'll have to recommend a transfer to Ukraine to fill the duties of cannon fodder, r281's true calling

Please don't make me write another stern letter regarding this matter

As always,

America 🇺🇸

I will give this to R281: he/she must've been among the top 10% of the graduates in the English language program at the Kazan Federal University.

" Kazan Federal University."

... a subsidiary of Trump University

R310 You voted for Biden-Harris to be president and vice president for this term. You didn't vote for her to be the Dem nominee, Einstein.

MAGA TRASH ALERT MAGA TRASH ALERT MAGA TRASH ALERT

Biden won the Dem primary, Harris didn't. Simple. Fact.

R314 sounds smart.

@r314, We don't vote for nominees you Russian twat. Primaries are nothing more that privately funded polls. Delegates pick the nominee

Don't they give you a rundown on American politics in Troll School before sending you out in the real world?

R317 What the fuck are you even talking about? Nobody voted for Kamala for the Dem nomination for POTUS. That's it. Let's hear your argument against it.

Black Lives Matter...who knew they were Russian trolls and MAGA trash?

Can't wait to have the first asian american president!

Trump scared of debating her?

R319, you are not making any sense. We don't have primaries for VP, and you should know this if you're going to get so inflamed about the issue. There is no opportunity for the populace to vote for VP candidates until the general election. The VP candidate is named by the presumptive presidential nominee as his or her choice of running mate. WTAF, dude.

Wait, are you talking about 2016 or 2020? Are you the same poster I was responding to before who was totally bent out of shape because nobody got to "vote" for Kamala to be Biden's running mate? Because that's the issue I was addressing.

But Kamala was not nominated for president. There was no primary. Just because she was the VP doesn't automatically give her the nomination to be president.

NObody has been nominated for president yet. Biden wasn't. You are correct that she doesn't automatically get the nomination; that happens at the convention, and anyone else is free to run until that happens, so what are you so upset about? That the majority of people seem to be fine with Kamala and that she is the presumptive nominee?

THANK YOU, R326!

Ok but she isn't going to win so don't cry when she doesn't. The only people who will vote for her are Democrats and probably not all of them. I realize there wasn't much time but this is on the stupid party. (Sorry I'm really pissed at the party right now) I am a Democrat. But Kamala shouldn't be preaching to the Democrats who are mostly in her corner. She is catering to the Trans and all the silly Wokness. But she has to get the only people who will elect her and they are mostly moderate independents and are not down with all culture shit. They want to know what she will do about the 3 things everyone is worried about. Inflation, housing, and the border. She had better have some good answers for that if she is to be elected.

"How do you do, fellow Democrats?"

[quote]Black Lives Matter...who knew they were Russian trolls

Everybody?

[quote] You are correct that she doesn't automatically get the nomination; that happens at the convention, and anyone else is free to run until that happens, so what are you so upset about? That the majority of people seem to be fine with Kamala and that she is the presumptive nominee?

They're not "free to run" until that happens. Run, how? The primaries already happened. They can attempt to get nominated at the convention and get delegates pledged to them.

R330 Did you even read the article you linked to? It doesn't say BLM were/are Russian trolls!

It says that Russian operatives tried to provoke Americans over issues of race and used interest in BLM to do that. It doesn't suggest BLM was at fault. The article I linked to is a statement by BLM itself, the organization, speaking for itself.

just lie they are trying to get gays mad if they don't vote for bootiegig, in order to keep them home in protest.

"Yes, we Kam!"

^^ Look how much more colourful these people are compared to deplorables at Trump rallies, in every sense of that word.

I look for a major event to take place in September or October that will impact voting.. It will be amazing and the ground will shake,

Taylor Swift seems to have a two month break in her tour. My guess is that we will see something a lot more interesting than a simple announcement

. I understand this is risky and will cause a significant loss in DL votes. But we will want those Swifties a lot more than a handful of tired old queens with their constant Taylor itching that no one gives a fuck about..

The women and the Swifties will save us

You can't win with Democrats alone. Especially not the young vote.

[quote] They're not "free to run" until that happens. Run, how?

Good lord, the shifting goalposts! However they can, dude. They are free to do whatever they want. They can declare themselves to be candidates. There are no rules stopping them. Why are you so obsessed with primaries?

R307

@r337, the last line was the best

Kid: "I don't like Donald Trump"

Kamala: "Me either"

[quote] They're not "free to run" until that happens. Run, how?

A question: were you and your buddies following the process on Jan 6, 2021?

I've never seen a political ad like this before:

That add does nothing to me but I'm the converted.

That ad could’ve been great. Good idea but bad execution and ending. They need to get some people from Pixar to actually turn that into something better.

I don't care for weird animated people in commercials. To quote Coco Peru, "this bothers me."

@r343, I liked it. It certainly sends a message of hope, but only if you want it bad enough to vote

Just-released Fox News poll shows Kamala and Trump tied in Michigan and Pennsylvania, Trump +1 in Wisconsin and Kamala +6 in Minnesota.

New WSJ Poll:

81% of Harris voters say they're "enthusiastic" compared to 37% who said the same about Biden at the beginning of July.

MN is not a swing state thank God. Move here, gays. We're having milder winters and the quality of life is great. Plus our governor is wonderful.

lolz

I hear there's a reasonable buffet in the Twin Cities R350.

[quote] Nobody voted for Kamala for the Dem nomination for POTUS.

Everyone voting in the D primaries took it for granted, when they overwhelmingly voted for Biden, that Harris would be his running mate—i.e. potential president. And the massive outpouring of donations and volunteering in the past week certainly doesn't suggest a lot of grassroots resistance.

[quote] She is catering to the Trans and all the silly Wokness

Isn't Trans & Wokness a fusion restaurant in Ann Arbor?

[quote]. She was a DEI hire, just like his SC pick,

This is one case where modem demographic realities scramble brain-dead right wing talking points. Harris is half Asian. Asians as a group are penalized by America’s affirmative action programs. So, if the black half of her was a beneficiary of affirmative action and the Asian half of her was harmed by affirmative action, does it more or less balance out?

If not, she’s done a remarkable job of pretending not to be as unintelligent as the last two white male presidents.

Paul Rudd & Lisa Bonet?

Doug was hot when he was younger. Whew!

Doug is still hot.

Why did it take almost a week for Obama to endorse Kamala?

Who the hell cares?

[quote] Doug was hot when he was younger.

[quote] Doug is still hot.

Cole looks just like him and they seem to have a great relationship

[QUOTE] Why did it take almost a week for Obama to endorse Kamala?

Because Obama waited until she secured the nomination, which she effectively did. He probably wanted to see what kind of candidate she’d be, and she proved herself to him by working her ass off and pulling off a series of unprecedented feats since Joe dropped out.

Axios:

In the days since Vice President Kamala Harris launched her presidential bid, more than 170,000 volunteers have joined her cause, her campaign says. The numbers are yet another example of the momentum Harris has harnessed in the week since President Biden’s historic withdrawal from the race.

The enthusiasm has also stretched down ballot, as new donations and volunteers flock to Democratic congressional campaigns. Florida has seen the largest volunteer totals of any battleground state with more than 7,000 as of Thursday.

R342 Are you so insecure that you think everyone has to a) think exactly like you, and b) be 100% for Kamala Harris because, by some sort of acclamation of the elite powers in the party (save Obama) she has been declared the new candidate for POTUS? My question would be, why are you so sheep-like and seem to have no capacity to think for yourself beyond "If you don't want to be told who to vote for rather than having a choice, you must be an insurrectionist." That bizarre either-or, black-and-white thinking, again. Excuse me for having free will.

Go Florida. Maybe there is intelligent life there after all.

r359, in another thread, someone suggested that he waited to start the new news cycle, to dominate the news.

I actually do see the point that people like R364 are making. The "Kamala train" was a runaway train from the moment it left the station, and if you don't like her, I can see why it would bother you. However, what do voters like that expect to happen instead? I would honestly like to know!

Speaking of Florida...this is wild! Over 200 golf carts (lol) at a rally for Kamala in super- MAGAland The Villages! The tide is definitely turning!

Kamala putting New Hampshire back in the blue column is a huge sigh of relief. Joe looked like he was actually about to lose there.

Never before has the entire electoral map shifted so much in just one week.

r368- there was an updated tweet- 500+ golf carts!

[quote] some sort of acclamation of the elite powers in the party

These trolls (on DL and in the national punditry) really need to give it up. She was the VP candidate and every primary vote for Biden was already a vote for her as potential president. The flood of small donations, volunteers, and voter registrations in the last six days shows how broad-based her support is. The fact that the trolls can't explain how an open convention wouldn't be even more elitist, as well as introducing chaos, shows that they're just stirring the shit.

A Harris presidency will mean millions more illegal aliens crossing the border. That's my one issue and why I certainly won't vote for her.

Border crossings are lower today than they were when Trump left office, R372.

R373 - that's false leftist propaganda and you know it.

R372 thinks we'll be swayed by her disinformation. Try harder, sweetie.

R372: "I have no choice but to vote for Trump. For the third time."

Of course, those were R372/R374's only two posts on the board. God, we're getting the shittiest trolls lately.

@r376, I know, right? The low-effort trolls on DL is so bad it's insulting. Maybe then should try to push flat-earth conspiracies

Ryan Garcia says: "Fuck the woke movement and fuck you if you voting Harris" - 74000 likes on the post so far.

Ryan Garcia looks delicious, love to PB on his body-eat it all off

Ryan can supply the cream.

R380. Oh dear! The Harris campaign is doomed!

Твоя мать пила до того, как родила тебя, R372/R374? Я слышал, что это большая проблема в России.

Actually, R378, I post on DL all the time and have for years. Your investigative skills aren't up to par. But it's just like you to investigate me - waah, he said something I don't like! You leftist gays are so viciously nasty. I post here all the time, but my privileges are frequently revoked when you guys FF me a lot (and FF this post to prove me correct that you are a nasty evil person).

Well, that's it. Trump has all the criminals, mental defectives and X bots voting for him! Game over!

You are so right R384 that leftist gays are vicious and nasty. I have the same problem I get banned frequently and don't do that to other people. People talk about Trump being rude and crude and he is horrible but leftists in general are some of the nastiest people I have ever known especially the young ones. They cannot deal with anybody disagreeing with them in the slightest. Gen Z refuses to tolerate Democrats who are not huge progressives. They don't debate, and when they don't agree they call you names.

Who's Ryan Garcia?

This stellar specimen.

[quote]You are so right that leftist gays are vicious and nasty.

So let's vote in the fascist who now says there won't be any more elections (Mussolini joked like that as well back in the day) because some people call you out on your provocations and you feel butthurt about it. Makes total fucking sense. And still you wonder why those on the left can't stand you...

[quote] You are so right that leftist gays are vicious and nasty.

Trump thwarted a border plan that was the most conservative attempt that has been attempted in decades because he didn't want him to have another victory. If you ever want to look back on Biden's presidency remember he was efficient DESPITE a stalker crazy fuck over his shoulder trying to fuck up anything that he ever tired. That is fucking unheard of in this country and most of the world. No other president ever had a fucking spiteful dipshit trying to block his presidency. Most hope for the best for the country. Fucking pig.

I'm not butthurt I just don't appreciate getting banned because some asshole can't stand someone having a different opinion. the Democrats should've have put a man up for the presidency that has a fighting chance against someone like Trump. The country is hurting and I'm hurting trying to live on SS our stupid governer has turned CA into a hell hole unless you are stinking rich. So much for the Democrats being for the working class. The Biden admin is just as bad. I do not want Trump, But the progressives are making me to broke to eat

^^too

We really have dollar store trolls here at the DL.

What about low rent trolls?

R377

Yes but the Harris Troll tells us it’s “free will” that he has as far as who he votes for. It’s not like he is being forced to vote for Trump or Kennedy he is allegedly a Newsom supporter that just hates Harris.

Yeah, the current Trumper Troll Clown Car leaves a lot to be desired.

I feel insulted. Apparently, they think their lazy output would persuade me.

I go way back here at the DL. Anybody else remember the infamous Peg?

She was a staunch Republican. She defended GWB against John Kerry with some knowledge and, yes, wit. I'll admit it. At times, I laughed when she would insult a Dem DLer. She had flair to her writing.

She was dead wrong on everything but at least she had something to her.

The far left and the far right are made up of the exact same people who have slightly different issues to promote or attack. Same exact type of people a slightly different world view.

We need their votes

No they are NOT the same. Let us know when the far left invades the Capital, injures over 100 police officers, kills one, tasers another one into a heart attack, tries to stop the vote, and defecates on the floor as their calling card.

Until then, no they are not the same.

^ IF Newty's mother were still alive she could go on national TV and tell Connie Chung that Newty said Kamala is a bitch like Newty said Hillary was

R402 The Queers for Palestine and other progressives, some you will see in Chicago in a few weeks trying to destroy the dem convention , are not all talk just like there are maga that are not all talk.

But you can argue that more maga will do something while the DL type of progressive will only talk about doing something.

I have no idea who would win that, But let’s see what happens in Chicago. There will be progressives trying to burn the whole thing down and destroy Harris and her chances..

Queers for Palastine is not a thing. The vast majority, 99.99% of Democrats are not a part of that. MAGA is a thing, the vast majority of Republican voters are MAGA freaks.

Vice President Kamala Harris is enjoying a bounce in her favorability rating among Americans just days after President Joe Biden bowed out of the presidential race and endorsed her,.

The vice president's favorability rating has jumped to 43%, with an unfavorability rating of 42%. A week ago, Harris’ favorability rating was 35%, while 46% viewed her unfavorability.

44% of independents have a favorable view of Harris, up from only 28% a week ago. Her unfavorability rating among independents is now 40%, which is a slight drop from 47% last week.

Trump's favorability rating dropped slightly from 40%, measured in the week following the attempted assassination and the Republican National Convention, to 36% in the most recent poll.

R408 Lots of pro Hamas supporters within the dem party that support the ideas of the now world famous Queers for Palestine. But like a lot of liberals and gop or maga they are not out in the streets doing anything. But like a lot of liberals and gop and maga they are talking about things and in this case their hate of the Jewish state .

I expect 10000s of them to show up in Chicago

We have self described progressives on DL calling for the killing of opposition members and supporters.

Extremes are more alike than different...

Congrats, R410. That bothsiderism is worthy of the most sophisticated Russian propaganda.

R411 will now deny that there are any pro Hamas Queers for Palastine in the dem party and 10000s of them will not show up in Chicago to riot.

Nope I sound like a traditional regular democrat that are for the most part old. But thanks for Playing Boris Hunter once again.

[QUOTE] Trump's favorability rating dropped slightly from 40%, measured in the week following the attempted assassination and the Republican National Convention, to 36% in the most recent poll.

[QUOTE] Trump's favorability rating among independents also saw a drop in the last week. Twenty-seven percent of independents have a favorable of Trump, which is down from 35% last week.

Is Trump the first candidate in history to lose ground in the polls right after his convention? That dumb redneck convention and the terrible pick of JD Vance have done nothing for him. Kamala crushed whatever momentum he might have picked up.

Biden's stepping down basically shat all over their playbook and now they're struggling to come up with new one. Having the America's creepiest and oldest looking 39 year old as the VP complicates that even more.

They also weren’t prepared for Democrats to flip the script from “Evil Genius Republicans” to “Bizarre and Bumbling America Haters.” It’s too early to expect this dynamic will continue. But the Harris campaign has looked agile and fun, while the Trump campaign looks flat footed and bitter. This was not the case last Saturday.

I hope Kamala and her people are smart enough to come up with some simple economic ideas that can fit on a bumper sticker. They need something short snd sweet so people like me can easily tell Americans what Democrats plan to do to make their lives better over the next four years. So far, I’m not seeing anything.

We need proportional voting. I would give more people a say in the country.

[quote] what Democrats plan to do to make their lives better over the next four years

Stop an authoritarian from establishing a dictatorship, Svetlana.

R416

“Make America Really Better Again”

I mean if bumper stickers is your suggestion for what you want and think the party needs .

^ How about , "America is Already Great, Let's Make it Better"

[QUOTE] Stop an authoritarian from establishing a dictatorship, Svetlana.

Svetlana, R418? I’m the OP, idiot.

“Stopping a dictatorship” may be good enough to motivate you, but economic policy is what motivates most other Americans. The Dems need to get better at sloganeering. Bernie Sanders is absolutely right that Kamala needs to sell Americans on what she will do to make their lives better. He wants a seat at the campaign table in return for his endorsement, and Kamala would be wise to take him up on his offer. Bernie can help shape a positive, simple economic message that will motivate the poor and middle class to vote Democrat.

How about we don’t think that we need bumper stickers to win.

And if someone does need a bumper sticker or 10 to be able to converse with people as to why they should vote Harris they are IMO not the people that should be trying to do the convincing.

@r421, "Svetlana, [R418]? I’m the OP, idiot. "

Then stop acting like Svetlana

I mentioned somewhere that I'm in West Hollywood, with a neighbor in an expensive duplex with a giant Trump banner in their window. What I didn't say was that the byline was "Take America Back".

Back from what?

^ The Democrats would be my guess

From the people.

If you still have Facebook, I'd recommend clicking on her ads and fighting the absolute garbage the MAGATs are spouting on her posts

This is a non-Pollyanana, encouraging listen.

[quote] These trolls (on DL and in the national punditry) really need to give it up. She was the VP candidate and every primary vote for Biden was already a vote for her as potential president.

NYT, July 19th: Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the former speaker, recently told her colleagues in the California delegation that if President Biden were to end his campaign she would favor the “competitive” process of an open primary rather than an anointment of Vice President Kamala Harris as the new Democratic nominee.

If there was the possibility of an open primary (less than ten days ago) then clearly your argument is flawed. Pelosi would not have used the word "anointment" if every primary vote for Biden was already a vote for Harris as potential president. That is nonsense.

The only vote she got on a national level was as Biden's VP in the general election in 2020, and her term lasts from 1/20/2021 until 1/20/2025. Nobody voted for her to be the 2024 Democratic nominee.

[quote] We have self described progressives on DL calling for the killing of opposition members and supporters. Extremes are more alike than different...

Both sides do it, both sides do it, both sides do it...bla, bla, bla BULLSHIT. Let us know when the far left attack the Capital, injure over 100 police officers, killing one, attacking another with a taser until has has a heart attack, using the flag to bet people, destruction of property, attempting to stop the certification of the vote, taking a shit on the floor as their calling card.

R431 Are you denying that the progressives of DL have called for the killing of trump or maga?

I clearly said calling for. I did not say the DL progressives would do anything, I realize talk and bluster when I see it.

Of course the Progressives of DL will not be storming anything. Christ some'of them said recently they won’t do door to door work for Harris if they might run into a GOP home and that they are afraid to talk to those people.

They would though visit homes of the people already voting for Harris to encourage them to vote for who they were already going to vote for.,

These heroes would have never won ww2

Oh for F-Sake, no one outside the DL cares what the DL says about Trump. It's a silly chat board dude. It's not the Democratic party headquarters. I mean, the DL has also called for the heads of a lot of Divas and D list actors. Do you really take all this chatter here that serious? Maybe get a life.

R433 I never said anyone cared about DL. I said the calls for killing the opposition are the same. Left and right finding common cause (hot air) in saving democracy——those fuckers I don’t agree with need to die.

I realize for 99% left and right it’s all talk and bullshit exactly what makes DL so much fun.

I don’t like her and I don’t hail her.

[quote] realize for 99% left and right it’s all talk and bullshit exactly what makes DL so much fun.

NOPE! Both sides are not the same. How many times do you need to hear that? I repeat, let us know when the Left attacks the Capital, causes an insurrection, attempts to stop the vote certification, kills a police officer, injures 100 more, tries to hang the VP, and take a dump on the floor of the Capital.

The far Left is not at all like the far Right. Bothsidesism is BS. I will call you out until you STFU about it.

There are men of DL who would refuse to go door to door canvassing for Harris if it meant talking to a non Dem. They have said so

There are hot air talkers and cowards on both sides.

Queers for Palestine at least takes to the streets and risks something. We talk a lot here on DL.

@r432, "Are you denying that the progressives of DL have called for the killing of trump or maga? "

Do you realize Trump has broken laws that carry the death penalty?

Sit down and SHUT THE FUCK UP! We the people are merely asking for justice

Election 2024 live updates: Harris' veepstakes heats up; Trump launches 'border czar' attacks

Elon Musk retweets altered Kamala Harris campaign ad

In the video, Harris seemingly exposes herself as an incompetent candidate for president. The origin of the video isn't known yet.

"Trump launches 'border czar' attacks"

And another botched takedown, because Kamala was never a "Border Czar" that was a media designation. The border is under Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas who the Repugs impeached because, who knows, I guess they were still butthurt about, well, everything

So Elon is using AI already to alter campaign video ads. I hope this works out better for him than the complaints he gets every time someone cant get parts for their Tesla.

Is it me or is Elon's face in that pic above getting weirder and weirder?

Elon Musk = Election interference

Should go over well with the stockholders 🙄

I never thought I'd pity a billionaire, but I do.

There is something deeply, profoundly off about Elon Musk.

And that's why you don't do drugs, kids!

Yes, r443- his features are migrating towards the center of his face.

You can bet Donald is burning up the phone lines to Fox today:

"Vice President Kamala Harris has seen her favorability among American voters rise dramatically in the aftermath of President Biden dropping out of the race, a new poll shows.

Harris’ overall favorability rose from 35% to 43% compared to a week earlier, while the vice president’s unfavorability rating fell from 46% to 42%."

Wow, the GOP mayor of Mesa, AZ endorses Kamala. Anyone familiar with Mesa knows this is a big deal.

75,000 RSVPs so far

Wow, the AZ mayor at r449 makes some salient points. I hope other Repubs see that and think about it.

[quote] The White Dudes for Harris call has had over 125,000 participants and raised $3 million. So far!

in 40 minutes

Well here's a super dumb take by a British columnist -- "Kamala Harris is the Meghan Markle of American Politics."

Ignores the fact that Harris was the elected DA of a major American city, the elected AG of the biggest state in the U.S., the elected Senator of the biggest state in the U.S., and the first woman elected Vice President of the United States. So, no, Kamala Harris is nothing like Meghan Markle.

R453 👏

Isn't The Telegraph a rightwing rag? Fuck them.

California isn't the biggest state in the US, though, btw.

R456 yes it is.

Alaska is the biggest state, but practically no one lives there soooo.

The biggest state in non specified terms always means the most populated state not the biggest square footage.

Alaska is the largest state, but not the biggest, which refers to population size, as already noted by r459.

We don’t care who you pick, seriously we don’t know who these people are and we don’t give a fuck. We will do what we always do in elections,

Re R452

jRe r452

Kamala Bros.

Bwahahahaha, the "free speech absolutist" is really scared. I hope that the piece of shit has a genuine reason to be scared if she's elected.

^ Nice message from an unexpected source 👍

... And this, "Hey, Kamala, what are we going to say to Trump in November?"

Ha, Ha, I love what Mark Hamill AKA Luke Skywalker is doing. So many people love Star Wars and kids have been raised to worship that series of movies as wholesome and clean cut entertainment, you just know Repugs who love that are twisting in the wind about his support for Democrats.

r469, he's super nice to work with too- just worked with him on the Spongebob sequel where he plays the Flying Dutchman. The guy is in his 70's (!), had layers of prosthetics, wigs and heavy costume, and never complained once.

When I was still on Twitter (I'll never call it X) I used to follow him. He has a great sense of humor.

^^^ negative contrast

^ "Can Trump get any more vile"

You bet he can 🤨

"That is what he has become"--Fred referring to Donald.

Um no, he was always a vile, evil creature that raped women (and 13 year olds) and said horrible, racist, exist, and evil things.

STOP GIVING TRUMP THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT!!!

Kamala goes on the offensive on immigration, which many say is her weakest point against Trump. I think it's effective!

Well I am glad Trump's nephew is now crossed the line and will be voting for Kamala. But it always irks me that Republicans only care about people if it's directly one of their own family members. Guarantee he would be voting for Donald if he had not said that too him.

[R278]

Sorry. ^ is for R478

Is this nephew Fred a brother to Mary Trump, who's been all over the media the past few years excoriating her uncle?

Was their father the "black sheep" brother who died an alcoholic? I'm not up on DT's family tree. Just the 5 kids by 3 women part (one ou-of-wedlock).

out-of-wedlock at r482

MAGAts are probably having a stroke right now. All last week, they bragged about the crowds at Trump's rallies and how Harris's are small compared to them. 🤣

Kamala scheduled to appear in Philly with her new VP the day after she makes the announcement. That means it’s my boy Josh Shapiro!

R486

Thanks for the tip. We will also see you in Chicago.

The wokesters will hate Shapiro. It has to be Beshear.

It will be Tim Walz!

I think it's Kelly, he all but forced her hand with those thirsty "Kelly can help her win the senate" puff pieces recently.

Kamala doesn’t care about puff pieces. She’ll choose whoever she’s most comfortable having by her side.

Trump says Harris would be 'like a play toy' to world leaders if elected

The former president has a long history of waging attacks against women who have publicly criticized him.

"Trump says Harris would be 'like a play toy' to world leaders if elected "

Is that right?... 🤔

Trump looked like a whipped dog coming out of that meeting with Putin. I haven't seen him look like that before or since. I don't know why he's never been asked about that.

Watch Trump’s interview with black journalists happening now. He is a disaster.

^^^.

He's right that he's rarely been asked questions in that way, which is an accurate indictment of US journalism.

😂 So he proceeds to beat-up on the black lady journalist asking him questions

Brilliant!

[quote] He's right that he's rarely been asked questions in that way, which is an accurate indictment of US journalism.

I take exception to that!

What a odd collection of people.

Cool...but odd...

I don't know why, but I'm starting to find Doug Emhoff attractive.

In an ideal world it would matter, but, if you had to be stuck next to one of the two on a transatlantic flight, who would honestly choose Trump over Kamala?

That Kennedy kid is hawt AF!

But spit that gum out, son, before you go on camera. Otherwise, it just reminds people of Ted Cruz eating his own booger on TV.

Get on line, R501!

I'm with you, too, R501.

He seems like an incredibly pleasant person to be around, too.

I've learned to pay no attention to what any Hollywood actors say about anything substantial. Wasn't it Hamill who said after Biden was elected, now we can go back to talking about other things besides politics?

From my experience, I found that men found Hillary highly intelligent but had a hard edge. Kamala is intelligent but isn't afraid to show her soft side and I think men will better respond to that. When you get down to the real nitty gritty, stuff like that matters.

There is a vast anti-Trump coalition in this country. Hillary couldn't keep it together but we also didn't know how awful Trump would be in 2016. Biden stitched it together but not with a lot of enthusiasm. This feels different though. Harris seems to be bringing out an energy that Biden just couldn't muster.

I hope that's the case. Four more years of Trump is a dire prospect for many reasons.

Harris is now leading in one prediction market.

R508 agreed she's the bitch they want on their team.

Kamala, Pete should be your running mate. People don't care if he's gay just like people don't care if you're black. Fuck discrimination.

Re r472

We should select a color for her inauguration outfit. Not red, not blue since she already wears that frequently and not white since it will be January. Not a fan of winter white, don't want to blend into the snowy background. At any rate, nothing conservative but not in your face, either. A beautiful neutral pink would work.

I knew her before she became Momala

U.S. Marine Paul Whelan and Wall Street Journalist Evan Gershkovich released from Russian captivity.

[quote] Jews for Kamala Harris will convene this Friday, pre-ShabbatJews for Kamala Harris will convene this Friday, pre-Shabbat

R515 what did you have picked out for Mrs Clinton to wear to hers? Amd I know you were invested in play planning hers.

I think a deep eggplant would be excellent for Kamala. Serious, but unexpected.

For her inauguration, I'd bet on a deep red or dark blue pant suit with an off-white blouse and tasteful, minimal jewelry.

Burgundy

You can be sure she won't go anywhere near Repug red.

If she does lose in the EC I wonder how many DL suicide threads there will be?

You first r525

R526 at my age it’s time to look for any good excuse. I do hope it’s not that one.

If Joe B got the electoral votes, you can bet Kamala will get at least as many. Especially with a conservative VP pick like Kelly, Walz or Beshear.

Kamala needs to borrow Nancy Pelosi's orange balls earrings (or was it a necklace? I can't remember) for the inauguration.

I saw a video asking Kamala supporters what she had accomplished in office. Not one of them could name a single accomplishment. So what has she accomplished?

[quote] Vice President Kamala Harris played a role in negotiations with allies to secure the prisoner-swap deal. Harris met with both German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Slovenian Prime Minister Robert Golob separately in intimate settings during the Munich Security Conference in February to urge both leaders to push the deal through, according to a White House official.

r530 is also:

[quote]Actually, R378, I post on DL all the time and have for years. Your investigative skills aren't up to par. But it's just like you to investigate me - waah, he said something I don't like!

I post here all the time, but my privileges are frequently revoked when you guys FF me a lot (and FF this post to prove me correct that you are a nasty evil person).

LoL, r530, up your game...or maybe your meds.

Also r530:

[quote]A Harris presidency will mean millions more illegal aliens crossing the border. That's my one issue and why I certainly won't vote for her.

R529 It was a necklace. Shady Nancy with that choice, lol.

R530 would like to talk about Zane/Froy. He usually generates 100 posts on any thread with that topic.

Kamala Harris is completely a DEI hire. She was polling at 2% in 2020 and was chosen as VP because she was a female of color (and that was the only reason). You don't have to take my word for it - the WhiteHouse.gov website says so (as shown below).

Who gives a shit even if she was? Fuck off, troll. What did Donald ever accomplish to make him qualified to be President? Why did his useless children deserve government jobs? Kamala had already an attorney general and a senator, for fuck's sake. They didn't grab some random black woman off the street.

Yes R537, She Defnitely Earned it. DEI indeed!

If she is a DEI hire it proves there is merit to the concept. She'll be the next, and first female, president of the USA. Maybe we need more DEI hirees.

“We can’t give these people a chance, my no-good son needs a job!”

Give it up, r536/r530 - you've already been outed as a retard.

Anyone who throws "DEI hire" at Kamala is admitting that the "equity" part holds true. It did restore some equity to the political landscape, a DEI initiatives are designed to do. You can't turn "DEI" into an insult, Trump-holes.

^*as* DEI initiatives are designed to do.

You guys still can't come up with a single accomplishment of hers.

r544 = still retarded

From Twitter:

Kamala: Do you feel bad for Willie Brown’s wife when you had an affair with him when he was twice your age?

What did you receive for having that affair?

Why did you throw the book at young black men for marijuana crimes?

While were border czar, 100,000 citizens per year lost their lives because of your open border polices with fentanyl- what do have to say to their families?

There have been tons of murders and rapes from the 10 million people you let in on the southern border, what do have to say to these grieving families who lost their loved ones because you wanted to import voters for power?

She's accomplished more successful years of elected public service than number 45.

[quote]From Twitter:

Oh no, r546...Twitter!!!

LoL

R546, deadnaming!

I can come up with your accomplishments, R544. Being the most retarded right wing troll we've had in a while. And that's a true accomplishment, given what shitty trolls we've had lately.

[quote] Do you feel bad for Willie Brown’s wife when you had an affair with him when he was twice your age? What did you receive for having that affair?

Assuming that this spellbindingly irrelevant consideration should guide our presidential choice, what on earth should we do? Donald Trump began a relationship at 47 with a 23-year-old who was trying to break into showbusiness while married (and not long-separated as in the case of Willie Brown) at the time. I think we are screwed, so to speak, either way. (Unless you have some weird ideas about such relationships being shameful to the woman only.)

[quote] Kamala Harris is completely a DEI hire. She was polling at 2% in 2020 and was chosen as VP because she was a female of color (and that was the only reason).

Everyone on the thread seems to recognize already that you are an idiot, but you do repeat a brain-dead refrain that has achieved some currency so it's worth pointing on the particular weirdness of your stupidity.

What is it about your tiny, diseased brain that causes it to notice only Harris's prior electoral failure and not the more numerous and more humiliating prior failures of Joe Biden and Donald Trump? Biden had been running for president for so long and with such humiliating effect that no one dreamed he would ever be president until a much more talented black politician picked him as vice-president ecause he needed an old white guy to balance the ticket. Why did your tiny brain not register Biden's more glaring history of electoral failure (which included dropping out of the primaries in disgrace for appropriating a British politician's personal history) and his rescue from oblivion on the basis of racial balance? Is there a reason why failures are notable only when they involve blacks or women? Are the racial and demographic considerations that elevated Biden to the vice-presidency and ultimately the presidency unimportant because he is automatically qualified in your mind because he is white.

Similarly, Donald Trump, unlike Harris, had never won a single election and had a history of totally humiliating primary performances until 2016 Did those past failures disqualify him? Would Donald Trump be known by anyone outside of his family if he hadn't inherited a fortune from his father, something that was virtually impossible for any black person of his generation to enjoy? Donald Trump would never, ever have become president without that unfair advantage of birth which was essentially available only to white people. Why is that not an affront to fairness and democracy?

Why has your tiny, diseased brain never noted that in all vice-presidential choices, demographic, religious, electoral college, and socio-economic profiles often dictate the choice. Dan Quayle was chosen for his youthfulness. Pence was chosen for his religious identity. Biden was chosen for his race and his working class appeal. Why is choosing someone who appeals to black voters more dangerous and offensive than those cases? Is that because of some view your brain has of the inherent abilities of black people and women?

OK, I'll stop "trolling" now - it gets me nowhere. I'm just amazed I'm still able to post - normally you guys gang up on me and FF me to oblivion (and non-posting ability). I've been reading (gay) author Douglas Murray's "The Madness of Crowds". He makes a distinction between "gays" (like me) for whom gayness is just one aspect of their life and "queers" like, I think, most DL'ers, for whom being gay requires you to be all sorts of things, for instance, a Democrat (or else).

You are a very special gay. You are not gay-gay like the rest of us.

Call him morbidly obese Kamala. That's what they say.

[quote]r553=OK, I'll stop "trolling" now

Amazed or disappointed? If we use up all of our F'Fs on this sock puppet, we won't be able to use them on your others.

I can't think of anything more stereotypically "gay-gay" than shipping Hispanic twink couples.

I don’t know why the media still fails to recognize that Pennsylvania is the most important state on the map now. Gives a whole new meaning to “Keystone State.” It’s literally the biggest swing state where a few thousand votes in Bucks County can determine who the fuck will be our next President. Yet the media doesn’t treat PA the way they did Ohio and Florida.

But there’s one person who recognizes its importance: Boss Kamala. And she will lock Pennsylvania down when she selects Josh Shapiro as her running mate, waltzing her way to that magical number: 270.

Why do we think that selection will deliver PA for her? Spell it out for me, because I don't see it. He won PA by a lot, but he was running against a MAGA idiot who barely ran a campaign. You think his statewide popularity in 2022 translates into a vote against Trump for president?

r551 Trump started his affair with Marla Maples while still firmly married to Ivana, recall the wild confrontations on the ski slopes between the two ladies in front of others, Trump wasn't even smart enough to take his mistress on a separate vacation lol.

Recall too his out-of-wedlock child (Tiffany, born two months before the wedding), affairs with Playboy models (Karen McDonough), porn stars while married (Stormy) and sexual assaults he apparently confused with 'dating' (E Jean, etc).

I don't care if Harris banged Willie Brown in public, she was single and free as the breeze and he was openly separated. She's practically a nun next to Trump.

A VP hasn't legitimately mattered since LBJ carried Texas. She needs to pick the best guy that can carry a few swings and to me that's Walz. Literally zero baggage, amazing on camera and looks like everyone's cool uncle.

I agree with you, R564.

I hope it's Walz and not Shapiro.

I have to believe that somebody on the vetting team is taking notice of how much people like R566--and me--are saying this.

Hillary Clinton looks like a proud mother in that pic. Love it!

You could put Walz on Howard Stern tomorrow and he would win that state with "why isn't this guy our fucking governor".

Hear, hear, R552

Dog killer Kristi is looking more and more like a drag queen every day.

^ Crazy Kristi looks like a serial killer

R568 Hillary should have had long hair when she ran in 2016. It softens her face and adds a regal look.

....

Hillary crawled so Kamala could run. Obama also took most of the racist bullets in advance, so some credit there as well.

Never got the big love for Hillary Clinton. By the way lowering the age to 50 to receive Medicare was part of her platform (probably worked out with Bernie to get his endorsement), something that seems not to have been taken up by Joe/Kamala.

Walz canceled weekend events as well

The world awaits the news——has Pete canceled his appointments.

It looks clear to me that Harris will upend the election by having 4 - 5 VPs on the ticket.

What else could it mean with all these being considered drooping week end plans?

She's going the reality show route, à la The Bachelor, where they'll all have to compete on tv to be her running mate.

teamwork, 'tard?

@r578, That's the way the world is suppose to work. Every generation is suppose to make things a little better for those who come up behind us. Hillary crawled because the Suffragettes fought for the vote and you can guess what preceded Obama being President

r584 Yeah, I know, I was just pointing out a fact. Rightwingers don't have that, all they do is push backwards.

r580 So it's Walz then? I can live with that.

Surely she's already phoned all the candidates and gave them The Talk by now?

The campaign is now truly edging us.

LMAO @ R588 best description of the whole situation.

She is still doing interviews with potential VP. Even with Pete.

The Veepstakes is very smart and strategic. Let Trumpco flail around and spend time and money trying to attack all of these people.

He's attacking just her right now, he's not bothering with the candidates because that would be a waste of money, plus she'll have one by Tuesday anyway. Even Trump isn't that dumb.

The right-leaning Rasmussen poll:

^^Sorry, that's a poll from RMG Research, started by Scott Rasmussen.

Excellent! She needs a 5 to 7-point lead in the national polls to be on the safe side.

Harris has secured enough Democratic delegate votes to be the party’s nominee, committee chair says

r582, she will be announcing the FINALISTS and the pick will be announced at the Convention on the 19th.

Each contestant will have 16 days to canvas America for their vote.

Polls will matter.

The color of her suit in the picture at R596 looks good on her.

I think Hillary already went through the color choice selections and optimizations in 2016.
